Sober is a new way to play Roblox on Linux from the Vinegar team

Quoting: doragasuI wonder if this fixes the mouse and perf on AMD hardware, but will wait until there is a non-flatpack version to test.
If it helps, I've got an AMD processor (Ryzen 5600X) and it works fine.
Then it looks like the perf problem is gone (I tested back then with a Ryzen 5700X and perf was terrible).

Have you tested if the mouse can move "infinitely to one side"? With waydroid, when you reached a point, it got stuck. For example moving the mouse to the right, there was a point where camera stopped moving until you moved it again back to left. I suspect it must be an Android limitation, maybe Android stops moving the cursor when it reaches the screen end, and that was the problem, but this is speculation on my side.

I tried the waydroid method back then, and worked reasonably well on two Intel laptops I tested, but performance was terrible on AMD hardware (apparently because libhoudini does not work well on AMD CPUs). Anyway even if it worked well, there were some problems that would have prevented playing, like some odd mouse behavior (limited movement on the sides).

Looks cool, but was going to install it from the AUR package, and it has a ton of Python dependencies plus some Node and Rust. Too many for a relatively simple tool.

Quoting: PyrateInteresting how TEKKEN has such a deep sale given it came out in like February earlier this year, did it not do too well sales wise?
That's a Trojan horse. You buy the game at a discount, but then you have to buy one battle pass after another to be able to play with all the characters.

No leaving a Steam account in a will after you die according to Valve

Quoting: shnullAdd to all this the mad prices of €100 or close for a single game, its plenty to be very picky . Newel might have been taken over by the triffids from all i see lately. How many original bipeds are still around since 2019 ...
If you add season pass and similar DLCs, many games are in fact way more expensive than €100 (e.g. Tekken 8). But well, that's other different discussion.

Tried this more than a year ago on the Deck, and couldn't get comfortable with controls. So the controller support and Steam Input integration is a really welcome addition, will give it another try!

Steam Families announced with parental controls, no more library locking

Awesome! I thought they would never do this, since I suspect they get a lot of pressure from many publishers against these kind of features.

Thanks Gabe!

Playtron plan to launch PlaytronOS, a Linux-based system for gaming

It will difficult for this to succeed, but with that team involved, they should at least release something. And if they open source it and is good enough, it might survive even if the company dies.

At least it might make Valve release SteamOS for other devices once and for all!
